The aim of this study is to analyze the functional physical performance of lower limbs of elderly people in the community undergoing training with the use of digital media (through YouTube), with and
verify and adherence to training in both groups
verify the prevalence of sarcopenia and its relationship with falls (cross-sectional study)
verify the relationship of lower limb muscle strength with fear of falling and functional capacity (cross-sectional study).
